Interesting. I've seen the no sugar Heinz on recipes but thought it was an American thing. We used the below. It was inexpensive in a local Aldis

Hi @Fenn It was more or less this one:- https://www.homemadeinterest.com/low-carb-meatloaf/ minus the worcester sauce and garlic and with the addition of lawry's salt. (My US husband has lawry's with everything.) We wrapped 15mins before the end with streaky bacon. To be honest it was kind of...

I'm Scottish and my husband is American. We usually share the cooking but since going low carb I've done the bulk of the shopping and cooking so I can be absolutely on top of my carb count. Its been mostly plain fare so I can easily count. Husband is missing his US style meals so today, between...

Hi @takararose Welcome aboard. You can post. I'm reading and responding to your post now. All it means is you are not allowed to post links to other sites until you've been around for a while. This stops the baddies from spamming or advertising or whatever. After you have posted a few times...

@Kernow Debra I don't want to take the thread way off the diabetes topic but would you be okay with me giving you a wee private message to chat about this? I was literally just telling my husband that people make their own vapes and thinking that's the way to go, gradually reducing nicotine...

@Paul_ I could have typed the above(minus the pregnant wife) When people asked me why I didn't stop I answered "because I enjoy it too much" I used to have 3 cigarettes for breakfast. But that was twenty years ago and I eventually stopped for babies and money. Vapes weren't as available then...

Wise as ever @JoKalsbeek and I completely agree. When I gave up smoking 20yrs ago I was knitting, painting by numbers anything to keep my hands busy. The problem with giving up these wee lozenges is they fit nicely in your cheek and there is nothing they stop you from doing (showering...

Hi @AndBreathe Here's what I could find. I know its says carbs 1.6 but other googles say 1.8 for what its worth. Each Nicotinell Mint 1 mg Lozenge contains 10 mg aspartame (E951), a source of phenylalanine equivalent to 5 mg/dose and may be harmful for people with phenylketonuria. - patients...

Thanks Tony, warning heeded but I think suddenly removing the 50 odd sugar free lozenges with added nicotine my problems are more likely to be the opposite !!!

I normally like to respond individually to posts because people go to the effort of replying to me but I've ended up just liking everything on the thread because the overwhelming kindness is making me cry. I've also gone round the clock without a lozenge and I haven;t done that in a decade. I've...

Reposting this from another thread as requested, Its early days to know for sure but I have a feeling my random high numbers problem probably stems from the 100 plus extra carbs I have recently discovered I consume every day by way of nicotine lozenges. I have used them for many years ,they...

I am absolutely beating myself up (in between tears) with a discovery I made early this morning. I suck very low nicotine lozengers all day long. Waking till sleeping there is one in my mouth if I'm not eating. I've done it for twenty years and like my GP I think its not good but its better than...

Yup. New knee number 2 is on the 14th November. I received a letter saying they were aware I was diabetic and my hba1c has to be less than 65 for surgery to go ahead. Interestingly they didn't do an hba1c before knee number 1 in May (the nurse checked my records when I asked) I was probably...

Good Morning @James9000 I don't know how relevant this is to your question but it is my experience. I also have ulcerative colitis which in recent years has been very well managed with only occasional, very mild flares. At a recent video appointment I told my gastro consultant (who, like a...

Yup. Overloaded my new knee climbing a hill and suffered for it, covid and flu vaccines and a cold all in the time frame but I believe it started a few days before any of these. Thanks @ianf0ster Thanks @ajbod , see above. Yesterday was better (6s all day) so I felt better but today the 8s are...

I have been very low carb since diagnosis 9 weeks ago and lots of great things are happening. My weight is down by 14lbs (6kg), My shape is changing. I feel better than I have in a long time and I really enjoy my low carb meals. I don't feel at all deprived. The problem is all the random higher...

i shall follow with interest. The libre 2 ix not compatible with my samsung but I'm hoping that Santa will sort that out and when the time comes I'll also need it delivered this side of Hadrian's Wall/

Someone recently , maybe @IanBish (sorry if it wasn't) put a "wrong" but available county in and got it ok.

Hiya I've been in that situation a couple of times. Can you phone the venue before hand and ask what they are serving? There may well be a protein you can eat on the plate and just dodge afters. I once had food in the car just before I went in and just pushed food around on my plate. I find...

Hi @jomar_uk People seem to have differing opinions about low carb "substitute" products and that okay. I would tend to just have the eggs and bacon or salmon or whatever without the bread but sometimes I really crave toast. When that happens I have a sliced loaf from "The low-carb food co" in...
